MTV has regained some of my respect.

Now, if only they could get past that pesky part about showing actual music on the network. I mean, it's not like music videos were the reason they created it or anything...

If you get really bored you should go through all the threads relating the news about TF2, note down all the negative comments and who says them, then compare them after the movie is released.

Welcome to Seibertron.com, it's not about the nuts, it's about jumping on the bandwagon.

With that said primeoptimus TF2 & TF3 are not even made yet. Bay may top the death count.

Well, i don't like MTV since it became

1) a launching platform for the next one-hit-wonder-generic-emo-teen-rock-band

2) a showcase of teen soap operas, and

3) a commercial oriented crap channel disguised as innovative / alternative / cool / rebellious / fighting for yer rights.

So, i just see this prize as advertisement for the next Transformers movie.

Anyways, i'm not in the Bay-bashing wagon, on the contrary, i liked the movie since i saw it at the cinema, and then i saw it four more times with my daughter, and i got almost all the movie toys.

Not that the Oscars are any different. Oscars are the same thing, oriented to a more adult public (it all went to the thrash bin when Titanic won eleven Oscars).

Anyways, if you liked the live action movie, great ! so did i. But i don't think that an MTV prize adds or takes anything. :PEACE:

This award says two major things:

First, a lot of us voted a lot for it.

Second, the movie was well liked in the MTV demo audiences- the ever-coveted 13-25 market. Next year, these same people will make TF2 the second highest grossing movie of all time. It's a launching pad...Transformers have moved out of our little tight-knit geekdom and into the mainstream. ANd may God help us all...

Ok, the last line was a little cheesy... :roll:

I think honor should be placed in quotation marks. This is MTV, a channel that can't even get it's own name right.

Yeah, I mean just when do they actually play music videos?

also,i am pretty sure that skywarp,and thundercracker became scourge and cyclonus.and the insecticons that became the sweeps and cyclonus' armada were actually clones.and,if your familiar with the japanese g1 series then you should know that all the autobot casualties at
autobot city(except for ironhide)were rebiult.
unicron was actually just a head,and was revisited twice.

Nope, no sarcasm laced in that one.

It really wasn't deserving of best movie, I'm thinking the only reason why it won was because that nobody at MTV wanted to give a movie done by a competing studio(Viacom owns MTV and Paramount) the award. In all honesty, Harry Potter was a hell of a lot more entertaining than TF was, as well as 300, and I Am Legend, but they were all done by studios not owned by Viacom.

But then "voting" counts for the MTV movie awards, maybe for the lower awards.

Not that I mean to make this sound like a conspiracy or anything, I just wouldn't put it past Viacom/MTV to pull a douchebag maneuver like giving their own movie the best movie award regardless of who voted or what.

I'm gonna have to agree with Senor Hugo. I love TF and always have, but the movie, while good and entertaining, didn't deserve to win "best movie". I could maybe agree to "viewers choice" because the target age of MTV is like 14.

If that's the best movie, then people are bigger idiots than I thought. I guess no one saw Juno, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, etc.

Yeah I agree Skywarp became Cyclonus, Thundercracker became Scourge and the Insecticons became the Sweeps. That makes sense...although it wasn't animated that way.

I didn't remember the Coneheads dying I have not had a chance to re watch TFM.

Cliffjumper didn't die. I know that much.
